Website Malware: Unwanted Exit to YourBrexit

Some website hacks aim to make some political statements. Defacements are well known for this. Some infections redirect visitors to scam sites that push (usually counterfeit) goods or (often illegal) services. But what would you feel if your site redirected visitors to a political news site?

This time we are talking about an attack that mainly targets UK sites and has redirected over 2 million (mostly UK) visitors to YourBrexit[.]net – a site that publishes politically-charged commentary about Brexit.
